Yes.

Wont help, the multilib file "shadowing" logic is NOT based on paths.
Looking at libguestfs.spec, here's the problem:
%global _use_internal_dependency_generator 0
The external dependency generator doesn't create the file "coloring" that
the multilib magic needs to operate. So you'll get conflicts on all paths
where content differs.
